If you are looking for a last-minute getaway for your family this Easter weekend, it would be well worth taking a look up North to the Junior Design Award-winningGleneagles Hotel. The residence is best known for being situated in a beautifully luxurious idyll nestled in among pine-clad Scottish hills, as well as being home to some of the world's finest golf courses.

Set within 850 acres of Perthshire countryside, Gleneagles is just one hour from both Edinburgh and Glasgow. There is always a fabulous offering of family activities available, but from 5 to the 27 of April 2014 the Easter celebrations and festivities will be in full swing.

Over the Easter weekend in particular - Friday 18 April to Monday 21 April - guests at Gleneagles will be able to take part in creative Easter bonnet and mask making sessions, Easter egg rolling and the jubilant Easter parade. Transfers to local churches for Easter service will also be provided.

These activities are alongside the usual plethora of activities available for families, including fencing, breakdancing, tennis, painting ceramics and even Highland Games to take part in. And, of course, there is always the relaxing and opulent spa for mum and dad to escape to, while the children burn off some of that energy.
